ZEE5 files one film under every language it plays in and sells its serials abroad under new titles. We turn the ZEE5 catalogue into clean rows: one ID, its dubs, its licence window, its pack.
You set the scope: which storefronts, which languages, which content types - films, originals, serials down to the episode, live channels and programme slots, plans - and whether it is one snapshot or a standing run. We build the ZEE5 scraper around the ID scheme, map ZEE5's own language codes, link dubbed records to their originals and extract ZEE5 records into CSV, JSON, XLSX or an API endpoint on your schedule, with field names agreed before the first pass.
zee5.com turns automated clients away at the edge, so anti-bot handling, proxy rotation and CAPTCHA solving come with the managed service. ZEE5 scraping stays on public pages: no sign-in, no streams, playback manifests or DRM. We collect the catalogue, not people - no accounts, profiles or viewing history.
Every ZEE5 record has an ID whose prefix names its type: 0-0 for films and videos, 0-6 for TV shows and web series, 0-2 for seasons, 0-1 for episodes, 0-8 for collections, 0-9 for live channels, 0-10 for programme slots and 0-11 for subscription plans. The slug in front of it is decoration - any slug redirects to the canonical one - so the ID is the join key between runs.
A film or show record carries title and original title, asset type, release date, duration in seconds, genres, cast as actor and character pairs, directors, content owner, an age rating on the U, U/A 7+, U/A 13+, U/A 16+ and A scale with descriptors such as Mild Violence, and three language arrays: languages, audio tracks and subtitles. The access tier is a field - free, ad-supported, premium or tvod for rentals - and each page also states the licence window for the territory being read: 2099 for much of Zee's own library, May 2030 for a licensed Bhojpuri film.
Two traps sit in the language data. ZEE5 writes Bhojpuri as hr, which ISO 639 reserves for Croatian, and Haryanvi as hv, so a standard lookup relabels whole shelves; we map codes with ZEE5's own table. And dubbing comes in two shapes. Newer films carry every dub as an audio track on one ID, which is why a ZEE5 movies list in Telugu includes Tamil and Malayalam originals. Older dubs and serials dubbed for export are separate records flagged Dubbed, with new IDs and new titles: Zee TV's Guddan Tumse Na Ho Payega runs in German as Guddan, Das Wird Dir Nicht Gelingen, tied to its original only by a tag. We keep both shapes and link them.
Shows nest into seasons and episodes, and each season also counts its clips, webisodes, promos and previews. A daily soap can pass three thousand episodes in one season, so the ZEE5 list of web series and serials is small next to the episode table beneath it.
Live TV is its own entity on ZEE5. Channels are records with 0-9 IDs and their own sitemap. The ZEE5 list of channels for India mixes Zee entertainment, movie and news channels in each language with third-party news such as Aaj Tak, NDTV and the TV9 group, plus live temple streams from Kashi Vishwanath and Somnath; the Indian channel pages name India as their only allowed region. The international list adds territorial feeds - Zee TV for the USA, UK, Canada, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Germany, each with its own ID - and Arabic channels such as Zee Aflam. Abroad, live TV comes inside the paid packs and streams with ads.
The ZEE5 TV guide, a channel-by-day grid on the Indian site, is built from programme slots. A slot ID embeds a broadcast code and the start in Indian Standard Time, while start and end fields run in UTC, next to title, synopsis, genre and a duration in minutes. A ZEE5 schedule or live TV guide feed is therefore a time series per channel, and we normalise both clocks.
ZEE5 plans are published per country. On the German storefront in September 2026 a language pack costs EUR 8.99 a month, 19.99 a quarter or 82.99 a year; the 4K plan with the whole catalogue, KidZ and international content costs 17.99, 34.99 or 121.99; kids-only starts at 2.49; the rental tier is 14.99. Packs bundle languages - Hindi with Punjabi and Bhojpuri, Marathi with Gujarati, Bangla with Odia - and each plan states billing days, devices, ads, kids access and renewal price.
ZEE5 is the streaming service of Zee Entertainment Enterprises, and it calls itself language-first: hyper-local content, language-specific packs and, by its own count, viewers in more than 190 countries. The ZEE5 catalogue follows that language-first logic. One domain carries two storefronts. zee5.com serves India; zee5.com/global serves everyone else, under terms that name Z5X Global FZ LLC of Dubai as owner of the site and app. Open an Indian title address from abroad and the site answers with the /global page for the same ID - if that title is licensed there.
The shelf is broad: films in Hindi, the four South Indian languages, Marathi, Bengali, Punjabi, Gujarati, Bhojpuri and Odia; web series under the ZEE5 Originals banner; serials from Zee broadcast channels such as Zee TV, Zee Marathi, Zee Bangla, Zee Tamil and Zee Telugu; live TV channels; music videos from Zee Music Company; KidZ; and ZEEPLEX, a rental shelf of Sony Pictures and NBC Universal releases with Hindi, Tamil and Telugu dubs. A Zee deal with FIFA that runs to 2034 adds live football for India.
Language is how the site is wired. Movies, TV shows and web series each have a page per language, so a ZEE5 movies list in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Marathi or Kannada is a real page, and so are a ZEE5 series list in Hindi, Tamil or Telugu and the ZEE5 shows list in Hindi that carries the Zee TV serials. The Indian sitemaps are cut the same way, one file per language code, and subscriptions are sold largely as language packs. For an Indian OTT catalogue that makes language the unit of collection - followed by deduplication, because roughly one row in five in the Indian movie sitemaps repeats a film already filed under another language.

Zee Entertainment does not publish a ZEE5 subscribers figure. On its August 2026 results call management said only that the paying base more than doubled in the April-June quarter, much of it on FIFA, and kept the split by language pack confidential. Rivals, rights buyers, metadata vendors and analysts see the shelf instead, which is why ZEE5 data is bought as a catalogue feed.
The shelf moves every day. ZEE5 new releases surface in the Fresh and Buzzing rail and in the Latest rail of each language page, and the ZEE5 top 10 movies rail is regional - Top 10 Movies in Europe on the German storefront - so what's new on ZEE5 depends on where you stand. There is no public ZEE5 coming soon list abroad: records carry an upcoming flag and an event start date, and arrivals show up as the difference between two snapshots. Exits are the exception. The licence end date sits on each record, so a departure can be forecast months ahead rather than noticed after the page goes dark.
Anyone compiling an Indian OTT platforms list with price, or the OTT platforms list in India a comparison site maintains, needs ZEE5 in it: the shelf runs past the South Indian languages into Bhojpuri, Odia, Punjabi, Gujarati and Bengali, and dubbed Zee serials sell abroad in German, Russian, Thai, Indonesian and Malay.
Learn how to use web scraping to solve data problems for your organization
Leveraging advances in technology, the AI-powered web scraper has skyrocketed in demand and is helping to expand capabilities by automating tedious daily tasks and speeding up data collection from thousands of websites several times over.
Web scraping is a method of obtaining web data by extracting it from pages of web resources with the help of a program, that is, in automatic mode. It is used to syntactically convert web pages into more usable forms.
If you specialize in machine learning, you need to feed large amounts of data to the algorithms. Web scraping is the easiest and the most efficient method of collecting the data from all over the Internet.
ScrapeIt is a managed web scraping agency. You describe the ZEE5 dataset, we design the crawl, run it and keep it alive when the site changes - no framework to learn, no proxy bill to reconcile. A project is quoted on storefronts, languages and refresh rate, and the price is fixed before the first run.
Most clients start with a paid sample - a few hundred IDs across films, one serial with its episodes, the live list and one country's plans - to test fields against their own records. A named engineer owns the feed and repairs it when a field moves.
No. ZEE5 publishes no developer API, documentation or keys for outside buyers. The web app talks to internal gateway services that hand each page a short-lived platform token, and the paths set aside for business partners are closed to crawlers in robots.txt. None of that is licensed to third parties, and code that calls it directly breaks when a token or path changes. What is open is the page layer: title, show, episode, channel and plan pages plus the language sitemaps. That is what we scrape, so the ZEE5 API you get is an endpoint we host over a clean feed, not a key to theirs.
ZEE5 says it reaches more than 190 countries, and the international storefront runs territorial live feeds for the USA, the UK, Canada and the Middle East. The catalogue differs everywhere. Each country gets its own configuration - currency, content languages, plans, rental tier and regional rails - and titles resolve one by one: some Indian titles open abroad with their own licence window, others are simply not there, and dubbed export titles exist only abroad. Even the rental shelf can list films whose pages do not open in that country. The list of ZEE5 available countries is long, so we deliver availability as a column per storefront.
It depends on the pack. A language pack covers everything in its languages except kids content, with live TV, up to three devices, 4K and Dolby Atmos; the 4K plan covers the whole catalogue plus KidZ and international content; the kids pack covers kids only. Prices are set per storefront and currency - euros in Germany, while a ZEE5 subscription in the USA is quoted in dollars under US plan IDs - and they move with offers. A ZEE5 price feed therefore records plan ID, billing days, list and renewal price, currency and snapshot date for each country you name, with ZEEPLEX rentals kept apart.
Yes. Each serial has its own sitemap listing every episode page, and each episode carries its number, telecast date, duration, synopsis and age rating - the page title reads like Veera Episode 765, 20th September 2026. For ZEE5 all episodes we walk that list and check it against the season totals; for Tamil episodes today, or new Telugu episodes, we run a daily pass over the serials of the channels you name and keep rows whose release date is today. Clips, webisodes and promos are typed apart so they never inflate episode counts.
ZEE5's terms bar page-scrapes, robots and spiders, and bar circumventing geo-filtering or DRM; robots.txt opens most of the site to crawlers and closes search, AMP and partner paths. We name that plainly: the lawful basis for a run is yours to establish, and we agree it with you in writing first. We read public catalogue pages only, never sign in, never touch video and collect no personal data. Delivery is CSV, JSON, XLSX, a database load or an API endpoint, pushed to S3, SFTP or a webhook, daily, weekly or on demand.
